that after dinner my wife and I sit down to watch MSNBC while reading DU (each on his or her own laptop)? If one of us wants to say something to the other, we have to get the other's attention first by rapping on the table between us.
Do we need help or just a life?
1812 Overture
I'm watching "Capitol Fourth" on PBS.
When the fireworks started, the orchestra played an abbreviated version of the 1812 Overture.
In the past, I've just thought it amusing that a piece celebrating the Russian defeat of Napoleon is played at American patriotic events. This year as I heard the choir singing in Russian, I felt vaguely threatened. What changed?
Puerto Rico votes for Statehood.
Puerto Rico has overwhelming voted for statehood. What are the odds a Repub Congress will ever accept Puerto Rico as a state? My prediction is that all the talk about supporting democracy around the world will mean nothing.
My bet is that it ain't happening as long as the Repubs control either house of Congress.
